The YouTube/CNN debates in the states looked like a bandwidth bandwagon worth trying here I thought. Last election pollies dipped their toes into blogging and discussions - but compared to the usual sturm and drang about you wouldn't really have noticed without seeking them out. If anything, old fashioned shoe leather campaigning brought home the bacon for Labour last time.
A NZ channel YouTube voter vid questions to candidates I think would fly especially for the smaller players - both tv and parties. Alt, Triangle, C4, anyone?

Just an observation: As no one is born under the sign of 'Note:' I think we dismiss the prediction listed for it...

Looks like Obama... by 5% or so. Clinton, Edwards pretty even.

Waaay to early to draw heaps from them, but it's 8:thirty-something p.m. US ET and results are being posted. In this case WashPosted...

Republican's coices are particularly dire. Romney seems to talk doublespeak like a native. Huckabee's flat-sales-only tax system might make good speechifying but wouldn't work, and likely punish the poor. Guiliani, running the late states may be crazy enough to work in this generally mad campaign but it's hard to see him appealing to the base no matter how many windows he's broken. McCain's success has been to recover from some early campaign weirdness - only recovering after firing most of his staff and marshalling his resources but has been pandering to the base due to issues like immigration and torture, as I/S says, and the mere fact that Democrats liked him last time. He's won early before only to fall later.
The top Democratic candidates - sorry Graeme - are polling so close that no one is making a call. Clinton led, Obama's overtaken by the margin of error in the last minute and Edwards has been throwing all his hopes into these states earlier than all of them. Obama and Edwards have been playing Good Cop/Bad Cop against Clinton in the debates but I can't see Edwards opting for V.P. candidate again. Just as these states count as voters like winners, a two time loser on your team better be bringing in the votes from somewhere, The South perhaps?
Also interesting to watch, as the primaries prime, is how many non-white and male voters are drawn out: those that idn't come out in 2004, discouraged by 2000 and it's aftermath and - especially for Latinos - lack of results.

Is this the monster at 1.29?
If so, then there appears to be some preambulating on dry land occurring (although I wish more blogs included the phrase "angry alien whale theory." Especially those on electoral funding.

I'm with JP,
I'm not going to disown a team (and coach) over this.

On the DST change, especially Gregor -
these geekzone comments on the issue may help -
they have a java.sun link that'll hopefully help.
As far as I'm aware, Apple say that the Software Updater will do for 10.4 still no joy felines former to Tiger.
Oh, and I think christian political parties reached both their high water and low scum mark with Christian Heritage in '96 and Graham Capill respectively.
Jesus I'm sure would have better things to do...
